Re: Dakar 2014
Well like each year Gibon vs Mitsuhashi in T2, with Foj here
For me quad should not be with bikes. That's quite different things. Let the time to the category to find his leaders ... but this with Patronelli there's an open race, and that's one of most interesting battle. Casale, Lafuente, Sonik and Husseini are really fighting.
And I think in the year coming Abu-Issa could become an interesting contender.
@Mirek : do you know anything about new Tatra of Ardavichus ? It seems quite bad truck

Re: Dakar 2014
Well, theyre at the halfway point in the rally but the dnf rate has been ridiculously high.
DNF % at halfway point:-
Bikes 57.6%
Quads 64.6%
Cars 84%
Trucks 31.5%
As far as I am concerned whoever set the stages should be penalized by spending a week with my former mother-in-law.

Re: Dakar 2014
I wonder what is the fast emergency used for in Kamaz team. Sotnikov again on charge attacking the first place It's also interesting that they decided to give the assistance function to a driver who won Silk Way Rally...
By the way I found that the new-look Kamaz trucks are equipped with Swiss Liebherr engines.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Re: Dakar 2014
I thought the new diesel engines for Kamaz was Austrian Liebherr.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
